lpv:translated text	". Mr President, it may seem unbelievable that in the 21st century there are still countries which prevent women from participating actively in public and economic life. In Afghanistan, as well as in Pakistan, women are socially marginalised, and are denied the opportunity of developing and fully exploiting their potential. Numerous prohibitions, punishments and physical and psychological discrimination limiting the areas in which women may be active are nothing unusual in these countries. The situation of Afghan women has improved somewhat in recent years due to the fall of the Taliban regime. However, the conditions of women in Pakistan has deteriorated significantly due to the introduction of discriminatory regulations, such as the law on blasphemy, which allows the persecution of both women and minority groups. A review of the rights of women in the national law of these two countries should therefore be a first step towards ensuring decent living conditions for women there, including the right to professional and personal development, together with protection for the safety of women in schools and at work. In view of the long-term support offered by the Union to both of these countries, it is our duty not only to express our concerns in connection with discrimination against women, but also to call for equal treatment of men and women."@en1
